Do I need any other programs? youtube-dl works fine on its own on most sites. However, if you want to convert video/audio, you'll need avconv or ffmpeg. On some sites - most notably YouTube - videos can be retrieved in a higher quality format without sound.
YouTube-dl does not have an installer, like most Windows programs. YouTube-dl consists of a single executable file, youtube-dl.exe, which you can download directly. Open the project page at https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/, and click Download.
I know this is an old question but if you're still interested check out the project called node-youtube-dl. It allows you to download videos directly from YouTube and many other video providers.
If you're more interested only in the YouTube platform, I suggest you checking out node-ytdl. It is a youtube downloader written in Javascript. To be used with the command line. If you're looking to use it in your node program, check out, node-ytdl-core.
